He was a very poor man who earned his living by carrying things from one end of the city to the other. Today was very hot and his load was very heavy. He huffed and puffed as best he could but halfway through his long journey he had to stop and rest.

  • A Structural Approach to the Arabian Nights
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Literature No.2 October, 2014 Pp. 125- 136 A Structural Approach to The Arabian Nights Sura M. Khrais Department of English Language and Literature Princess Alia University College Al-Balqa Applied University Amman, Jordan Abstract This paper introduces a structural study of The Arabian Nights, Book III. The structural approach used by Vladimir Propp on the Russian folktales along with Tzvetan Todorov's ideas on the literature of the fantastic will be applied here. The researcher argues that structural reading of the chosen ten stories is fruitful because structuralism focuses on multiple texts, seeking how these texts unify themselves into a coherent system. This approach enables readers to study the text as a manifestation of an abstract structure. The paper will concentrate on three different aspects: character types, narrative technique and setting (elements of place). First, the researcher classifies characters according to their contribution to the action. Propp's theory of the function of the dramatist personae will be adopted in this respect. The researcher will discuss thirteen different functions. Then, the same characters will be classified according to their conformity to reality into historical, imaginative, and fairy characters. The role of the fairy characters in The Arabian Nights will be highlighted and in this respect Vladimir's theory of the fantastic will be used to study the significance of the supernatural elements in the target texts. Next, the narrative techniques in The Arabian Nights will be discussed in details with a special emphasis on the frame story technique. Finally, the paper shall discuss the features of place in the tales and show their distinctive yet common elements.

  • The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
    THE SECOND VOYAGE OF SINBAD THE SAILOR designed, after my first voyage, to spend the rest of my days at Bagdad; but it was not long ere I grew weary of a quiet life. My inclination to trade revived. I bought goods suited to the commerce I intended, and put to sea a second time, with merchants of known probity. We embarked on board a good ship, and after recommending ourselves to God, set sail. We traded from island to island, and exchanged commodities with great profit. One day we landed on an island covered with several sorts of fruit trees, but so unpeopled, that we could see neither man nor beast upon it. We went to take a little fresh air in the meadows, and along the streams that watered them. Whilst some diverted themselves with gathering flowers, and others with gathering fruits, I took my wine and provisions, and sat down by a stream betwixt two great trees, which formed a curious shape. I made a very good meal, and afterwards fell asleep. I cannot tell how long I slept, but when I awoke the ship was gone. I was very much surprised to find the ship gone. I got up and looked about everywhere, and could not see one of the merchants who landed with me. At last I perceived the ship under sail, but at such a distance that I lost sight of her in a very little time. …………..At last I resigned myself to the will of God; and not knowing what to do, I climbed up to the top of a great tree, from whence I looked about on all sides to see if there was anything that could give me hope.

It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.[1] The work as we have it was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature.

  • The Thousand and One Nights Video Transcript Transcript
    Invitation to World Literature: The Thousand and One Nights Video Transcript Willingham: The elements of the Arabian Nights tales are that it's this fantastic, and wonderful and demon haunted world. That any time you go out of your door, you're in for an adventure and you're in danger. Zimmerman: There are genies, rocks that grab you in their claws and transport you to different lands. Rezaei: Love and lust and passion and jealousy. These are all the things that existed in 1001 Nights and it really is what makes it the most universal set of stories that were ever told. Zimmerman: It's not all Aladdain and it's not all Sinbad. Barry: I encountered The Thousand and One Nights as a child, and thanks to The Thousand and One Nights, I have remained a child. Naddaff: We know it mostly these days as The Arabian Nights, most people don't call it The Thousand and One Nights. The original Arabic is (alf layla wa-layla), The Thousand and One Nights and A Night. Damrosch: Many of the stories are over 1,000 years old and we often know them without even knowing that we know them. Jetha: My first experience with The Thousand and One Nights was as a kid, watching movies. Willingham: Especially the cheesy Ray Harryhousen Sinbad movies, that were a small sliver of the original text. Naddaff: I think for most of us now, the best-known popular representation of the 1001 Nights is Disney's Aladdin. The 1992 film. Popeye has a number of cartoons, a whole of series of cartoons from the 1930's that use the 1001 Nights to tell Popeye stories.

  • FAIRY TALES and THEIR INNER MEANINGS ~ Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp ~ Cinderella ~ ~ Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ~ by the Rev
    FAIRY TALES AND THEIR INNER MEANINGS ~ Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp ~ Cinderella ~ ~ Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ~ By The Rev. Dr Ian Ellis-Jones An Address to the Spirit of Life Unitarian Fellowship, at Kirribilli, New South Wales, on 27 October 2013 H P Blavatsky points out that there is one universal esoteric or ‘mystery’ language underlying all the sacred traditions of history. She writes that ‘all the ancient records were written in a language which was universal and known to all nations alike in days of old, but which is now intelligible only to the few.’ Fairy tales are a sub-genre of the artistic and literary genre known as ‘fantasy,’ the latter being a genre in which life---or at least some aspect of life---is depicted in an ‘unnatural’ (ugh) and highly imaginative manner. The problematic word ‘unnatural’ does not mean ‘unrealistic’ or ‘supernatural’ (whatever that means), but, in fantasies, imagination, wonder and fancy all play very important roles. The characters often engage in ‘fantasies,’ that is, visionary fancies and other kinds of mental images including dreams, daydreams and hallucinations. A ‘fantasy’ ordinarily involves the following elements: first, a quest or journey of some kind, often involving tests, trials and tribulations, with a battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’; secondly, a fictitious or legendary place in which strange, ‘unnatural’ events occur; thirdly, the presence of strange, ‘unnatural,’ fanciful, even grotesque, characters and capricious forces; and fourthly, lessons in how to live, evolve, and relate to others and a power-not-oneself that is capable of freeing oneself from the bondage of self.

  • Deconstructing the Stereotype: Scheherazade's Feminist Voice
    Deconstructing the Stereotype: Scheherazade’s Feminist Voice Kathy H. Zimbaldi Westside High School INTRODUCTION I am an ESL teacher of 9th, 10th and 11th grade Advanced and Transitional students at Westside High School, the most evenly diverse student body in HISD. While the ethnic breakdown in HISD is 70% Hispanic, 20% Black and 10% White, Westside’s population is a neatly distributed one third each. And, although our immigrant population of roughly 200 is not as large as other high schools, it is remarkably diverse given its size. I teach students from over 35 countries and 5 continents; some of these students are refugees from war-torn countries while others are privileged children of petroleum engineers or teachers. All of them are non-native English language learners. The required curriculum supports broad goals for these English learners in the four language arts strands of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Because my students are classified as Advanced or Transitional, they often know a great deal of English, but lack the refinement of those skills necessary to survive in the mainstream English literature classes at Westside. What makes an ordinary class in language learning compelling is often determined by the relevance of the materials and the interest levels they generate. Given the daily media coverage of some turbulent areas of the Middle East, it seems natural to develop a curriculum unit that would help to establish a foundation of understanding about the area America both covets and fears simultaneously. Because my ESL students must daily negotiate and transfer meaning in language and culture as they attend an American high school in Houston and because they are accustomed to being “outsiders” no matter how warmly the student body and faculty welcome them, I find that these students are pleasantly surprised, and even charmed by any attempts made to embrace them, to learn their cultures and to hear their stories.
